What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Eliadn]

A bike hand maintenance stand. My god, does this make things easier, from a to z! Very stable, I am surprised.

Which one?

Yet another piece of the puzzle 190’s

This build is going to be awesome when I’m finally done ! These bearings are outstanding !

We now have OneUp 35mm Carbon bars on all our bikes.

I really like their E-bike specific bars, I’m running them on my regular bikes too. They’re super compliant and I need all the help I can get with my bad wrist.

I hear you (I have bad wrists as well) and I considered them but even tho OneUp is based in Squamish and we know the owners, when something is sold out, they are sold out!

Getting to the point where it's needed after 1300 miles on the original but probably try to keep chugging on before fitting it until after winter. May as well let the old one take the pain through the wet weather & I'm likely to ride less in the shorter days anyway.

After years of washing my bike in the garden I can wash it straight after a sloppy ride before it goes on my bike carrier with this Worx hydro shot and Muc off brush set, happy days

 

[chamaruco]

your hydrowasher has not an ebike label.....omg

I've been using a Hydroshot for the last few years, it's an absolute game changer, a fantastic bit of kit and I'm sure you'll love it.

Fork service on my Fox 34. 1000 mile routine service . Hey..... How many people neglect servicing there fork? Gotta take care of my wife's bike

Fork service on my Fox 34. 1000 mile routine service . Hey..... How many people neglect servicing there fork?

Just did mine on Friday, and got two rides this weekend. I had 954 miles on the fork. This time I used some RWC foam rings and SKF seals. You know what? The feel of the stiction seems to be much less--when tested by hand with none of the internals installed. I can't say that the on-trail performance is better, but at least the new seals LOOK cool.

 

[chamaruco]

I have this as well. It’s pretty ideal. Has about the pressure of when I was a 10 year old seeing how far I can pee. Also I can hold it like a gun and shoot bugs out of the air while I whistle THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE @Zimmerframe theme song.

Still available

Swaped 20 to 35 mm rise carbon bar

I hope that it works for you. I swapped the 20mm rise bar on my bike for a 38mm rise in an attempt to take some weight off my wrists in non technical riding situations however I found that I kept losing the front wheel on technical terrain (as I didn't have enough weight over it I assume). I ended up going back to the 20mm rise bar and it's much better. My wrists still get a bit sore on longer road or fire road sections but I'd rather have that and maintain my bike's handling on steeper, techy stuff.

I had one of these for a bit, I ended up selling it. It’s pretty damn good as long as you have a water source, theres no water at most of the places I ride so I’d have to drag a 5-gallon bucket full of water with me. I ended up buying the all-in-one deal from Bosch

did you remove any of the spacers from under the stem? That’s the only way I can use high rise bars.

It would kinda defeat the purpose of putting higher bars on. No, it was an experiment for me that I'm happy not to pursue. It may well be fine for other people or other bikes though.

Just ordered four pairs of eMatrix brake pads from Uberbike. They're doing 20% off for Halloween if you use the code Spooky20. The discount is applied before VAT and postage so it's not a true 20% but if you were planning to buy something from them anyway it's worth having.

Are those any good? I’m looking to try some different pads on my Codes, something that will last longer than a few months

They're okay yeah, I've been using them with Shimano 8120 XT brakes (and they're quite cheap compared to OEM pads). Can't comment on what they'd be like with SRAM brakes but I'd imagine they'd be decent.

I've had really good luck with Galfer's purple ebike pads, I've run them with my Shimano XTR setup and then again when I went to a Shigura sent up using the same levers but with Magura MT5 calipers. Definitely recommend them to people, even have a few buddies running them in their regular bikes.

Galfers are on my list to try.

My recent loot: a shiny new chain and a rear rotor upgrade from 180 to 203 mm (should have been on the bike to begin with imo).

2 sets of grips you might ask, got the 'Better half' a set too, got to keep the 'Financial Adviser' happy too.

Finally got pissed off with my (Megneg'd) Rockshox Deluxe Select + leaking air so bought this kit. Needs a service anyway.

View attachment 99515

Did the service yesterday morning. Don't check air pressure (225psi), just check the sag hasn't changed. Which it hasn't 36 hours later.

 

[Ou812]

Finally got these delivered, only took forever between being stuck in customs for a week and the Royal Mail strikes!

 

[EnduroDad2k]

Finally reached the end of my patience with the stock Rockshox RL 35 Gold 150 and upgraded to a Marzocchi Bomber Z1 Air 170. Best upgrade so far for my Giant Trance X! Review here if you're interested.
